Definitions

• the present invention relates to new compounds having valuable antihypertensive properties, process for their preparation, method for lowering blood pressure in mammals including man, and pharmaceutical preparations containing said compounds.
• the object of the present invention is to obtain new anti- hypertensive agents, which lower blood pressure by selective dilation of the peripheral blood vessels without affecting the contractility of the heart.
• Agents which relax vascular smooth muscle may be used for treatment of arterial hypertension since such patients suffer from elevated peripheral resistance to blood flow.
• Compounds which interfere with vascular smooth muscle activity have been used clinically for several years. However, their usefulness has often been limited due to insufficient efficacy and/or due to adverse effects.
• Side effects outside the cardiovascular system have often been connected with properties of the agent not relevant to the smooth musle relaxant effect. Sometimes the vasodilating agents have also exerted a negative effect on the contractility of the heart.
• R is selected from the group consisting of -CH3, -CH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 , and -CH(CH 3 )CH 2 OCH 3
• R 2 is selected from the group consisting of -CH 3 , -C 2 H 5 , -CH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 and -CH(CN 3 )CH 2 OCH 3 , whereby when R 1 is -CH 3 , R 2 is -CH 3 , -C 2 H 5 , -CH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 , or -CH(CH 3 )CH 2 OCH 3 , when R 1 is -CH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 , R 2 is -CH 2 CH 2 0CH 3 , or -CH(CH 3 )CH 2 OCH 3 , and when R 1 is -CH(CH 3 )CH 2 OCH 3 , R 2 is -CH(CH 3 )CH 2 OCH 3 , and R is selected from the group consisting

• the new compounds may, depending on the choice of starting materials and process, be present as optical antipodes or racemate, or, if they contain at least two asymmetric carbon atoms, be present as an isomer mixture (racemate mixture).
• the isomer mixtures (racemate mixtures) obtained may, depending on physical-chemical differences of the components, be separated into the two stereoisomeric (diastereomeric) pure racemates e.g. by means of chromatography and/or fractional crystallization.
• racemates obtained can be separated according to known methods, e.g., by means of recrystallization from an optically active solvent, by means of microorganisms, or by a reaction with optically active acids forming salts of the compound, and separating the salts thus obtained, e.g. by means of the different solubility of the diastereomeric salts, from which the antipodes may be set free by the action of a suitable agent.
• optically active acids are e.g. the L- and 0-forms of tartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulfonic acid or quinic acid.
• the more active part of the two antipodes is isolated.
• starting materials are used for carrying out the reactions of the invention, which material leads to groups of end products preferably desired and particularly to the specifically described and preferred end products,

• the granules are sieved so that the particle size wanted is obtained. Under certain circumstances powder has to be removed.
• the cleaned tablet punching machine is provided with a certain set of punches and dies, whereupon the suitable adjustment for the weight of the tablets and the degree of compression is tested out.
• the weight of the tablet is decisive for the size of the dose in each tablet and is calculated starting from the amount of therapeutic agent in the granules.
• the degree of compression affects the size of the tablet, its strength and its ability of disintegrate in water. Especially with regard to the two later properties the choice of compression pressure (0.5 to 5 ton) means something of a compromise.
• the right adjustment is set, the preparation of tablets is started and is carried out with a rate of 20.000 to 200.000 tablets per hour. The pressing of the tablets requires different times and depends on the size of the batch.

• active substance may be replaced by other therapeutically active substances of the invention.
• Granules were prepared from 2-methoxymethyl-4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-6-methyl-l,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid--3-ethylester-5-methylester (250 g), lactose (175.9 g) and an alcoholic solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (25 g).

• the antihypertensive effect of the compounds was tested in conscious, unrestrained spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) of the Okamoto strain.
• the animals had been prepared by prior implantation of indwelling catheters in the abdominal aorta via the femoral artery.
• Mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and heart rate were continuously monitored.

• the compound under study was administered by oral intubation at 2 hour intervals, suspended in methocel solution (5 ml/kg bodyweight).
• the cumulated doses were 1, 5 and 25 pmoles/kg bodyweight.
• the antihypertensive response i.e. the BP reduction to each dose, was expressed as a percentage of the initial control BP level and plotted against the dose on a logarithmic scale. The dose which would give 20 per cent BP reduction was then determined by interpolation. The results are shown-in table 2.
• the specificity towards smooth muscle relaxation was examined as follows: The isolated portal vein preparation of Wistar rats was mounted in an organ bath together with a paced isolated papillary heart muscle preparation of the same animal. The integrated contractile activity of the portal vein smooth muscle and the peak force amplitude of the papillary, myocardial, preparation were recorded. The respective activities during a 30 min control period were set as 100 per cent and the ensuing activities under the influence of an agent under study were expressed as a percentage thereof. The agent was administered at 10 min intervals and the potency for vasodilatation(-log ED 50 of-portal vein) and that of myocardial depression (-log ED 50 of papillary muscle) were determined by interpolation from the concentration-effect relationships determined in each experiment.
• a “separation" value was determined for each compound by averaging the differences of the -log ED 50 values for vasodilatation and myocardial depression, respectively, obtained in the experiments. This logarithmic separation value was transformed into numeric format and entered into table 2.
